Had drinks for a friend's 30th in Fitzroy Sat night and a houseparty in Southbank afterward, and pub drinks on Sunday (also ostensibly for a birthday - but probably would've gone and had a few anyway) - so drank a fair bit on weekend, but was actually fairly sensible considering what else I could've gotten into ( Read more... )

1. Made it to the warehouse party Friday night after the movie, and all was right in the world.  Had a good boogie.  Met some randoms.  I thought we left around 4:30am, but apparently it was more like 6:30...
2. Got up late Saturday and went to a surprise birthday party for Sweetness.  Not in time to actually surprise her - bad friend!
3. Sunday, made it to a ( Read more... )

Friday Thursday night Q and I tried a new restaurant.  Well, perhaps not actually new restaurant, it's probably been there at least a year, but we've been meaning to try it since it opened.  Mama Ganoush, quite good (perhaps a little overpriced).

Friday night was birthday drinks for exhousemate (can't recall blognym - The Engineer?), he started ( Read more... )

Have had a couple of excellent weekends in a row.

Weekend before last was a really fun wedding, I hope they like the present I lugged back from the Solomons (no gift registry! crazy hippy kids! and have another non-gift-registry/ered wedding coming up too - must think of prez).  The ceremony was outside under a massive oak tree.  It was supposed to ( Read more... )

Weekend was good but rather long ( Read more... )

So after my reprieve, did I learn my lesson and get a head start on my new deadlines?  On Saturday I caught up with K and checked out the Slow Food fest and had a bloody mary at Madame Brussels.  And a quiet Sat night in turned into red wine and Trivial Pursuit and a hangover on Sunday morning.  Sunday arvo I caught up with C- and J- at the Sydney ( Read more... )

Argh - week went too quick.  Didn't get nearly enough done :-(  Should be ok, but could've been ok-er...

Grape-grazing all day tomorrow!  We've hired our own bus.  Hope am not too hungover to do work on Sunday!

Yes, was lovely to brunch and beer with K on Sunday.
And Saturday night it was good to catch up with friends and have a rather indulgent night.

But what I really want to post about is to ask if anyone has seen any good muck-raking email forwards or web-pages about the Republican candidates.

I was just accidentally forwarded a rather partisan email ( Read more... )

Had a rather mixed weekend.  Did a heap of work because I had a deadline yesterday, but we also went to a housewarming Saturday night and met new people and drank lots and it was stumbling distance home. And then Sunday evening we went to an engagement party which was lovely, and we had champagne and canapes, and then they told us to go down to the ( Read more... )

Hm.  Just missed submission deadline for a July conference in Barcelona.  And it coulda fit in nicely with a wedding in London around then too... oh well...

Other stuff: 

1. Xmas was good and quiet.  Baked a chrissy cake a couple of days before, unfortunately we only got to feed it (with brandy) a couple of times before Xmas day.  Was still quite ( Read more... )
